Preparation

Finely chop the chocolate by hand or in a food processor fitted with a metal blade, and place in a medium bowl. Pour the cream into a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate. With a wooden spoon, gently stir to melt the chocolate. Don't whisk or stir too strongly or you will incorporate air. Cover. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.

Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. With a small melon baller or ice-cream scoop, drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheet. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.

Place the cocoa, confectioner's sugar, and chopped nuts into 3 separate shallow bowls.

Roll 1/3 of the balls into the cocoa mixture, 1/3 into the confectioner's sugar, and 1/3 into the chopped nuts. Quickly roll between your palms to form them into a perfect round shape. You may need to re-roll in the nuts or sugar if too much falls off. Return to parchment-lined baking sheet or other parchment-lined container, in a single layer. Cover with plastic and chill until ready to serve. Can be made 10 days ahead; keep refrigerated.

as far as the confectionery sugar.... the Hungarian Walnut Chocolate Torte recipe has a recipe to make your own confectionery sugar for Pesach...

There is
confectioner's sugar
available for Pesach
-- it uses potato
starch instead of
corn starch.
Soy milk, OTOH, is
not kosher for
Pesach (not for
Ashkenazim, at
least).

Not a review either but an answer to help make the recipe acceptable for Passover. Don't use the version with confectioner's sugar but use the other coatings. Also, you can use other types of 'cream' instead of dairy cream. I'm allergic to dairy so would substitute a 'cream' made from coconut or soy.

Ok, so this isn't actually a review, but I really like that bird dish featured in your photo. Where can I get it?

Technically, this is not acceptable for Passover. The confectioner's sugar contains cornstarch which is not kosher for Passover. Also, because it contains cream, it would not be served with a meat meal.
